Hej hej! I'm back and as promised this will be a bit of an Asian interior week! Last Monday I visited Tokyo, Japan for 24 hours. It was a fantastic city and perhaps the most intriguing culture of all. Japanese are guided by the 5s principles: Seiri: Tidiness, Seiton: Orderliness, Seiso: Cleanliness, Seiketsu: Standardisation, Shitsuke: Discipline which are reflected in the home. Interiors are based on natural materials wood and stone and designed to encourage a respectful relationship with nature and bring balance and harmony to your life. This beautiful split machiya home in Tokyo, Japan from Atelier Bow Wow is in two parts and connected by a lush courtyard.

Can you see any reflection of the 5s principles in your home?! Every one minute I step on a piece of lego or trip over a barbie car which is followed by a string of expletives, so perhaps I need to work on this!!

Tomorrow it's time for a little Japanese give-away for you lovely readers so pop by if you get the a chance!

Welcome back Niki! Very cool house but if I would live in it there would be chaos and clutter all over in less than 5 minutes ;) I really envy people who can keep their places neat and organized but I'm too much of a pack rat for that I guess....

The home design in Japan clearly showcases the country's five principles, which is very fascinating. i would love to have a Japanese-inspired home too because it strongly suggests peace of mind, cleanliness and discipline - which is what we all need right?
